Chapter 34: Defeat and Escape
When the people sent out by Batian came back to report, they said that Quanzhou City was now looking for Princess Lingping everywhere, searching door to door, even within a radius of dozens of miles outside the city.
Zhong Licong ordered that the matter of finding someone should be as big as possible, and it was best that the whole Rong Territory knew about it, so that the people of the Sand Gang could know about it. At that time, they may take the opportunity to carry out a sneak attack, and then they are falling into the trap they have set.
Ye Xi wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't sleep, it seemed that he was used to Yan Limei sleeping next to him. She didn't sleep well last night, she slept alone, she always had the same nightmare, there was a big brother and Yan Limei in the Prime Minister's Mansion who often slept with her at night, she was a little more at ease, and she slept more steadily. I finally fell asleep last night, but I was awakened by a nightmare, and I couldn't sleep again.
Batian felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as they entered Jeonju City and occupied Jeonju City, they would no longer have to live in the center of this desert to hide.
At that time, he can also take the opportunity to recruit troops and attack the next city, and he has a sweet dream in his heart.
Batian was thinking, if he could become an emperor, wouldn't that princess be in his pocket? His man's possessiveness stimulated him strongly, and his desire to possess Ye Xi became even stronger.
He thought of Ye Xiyan's world-sweeping beauty, as well as his graceful figure, and his eyes emitted a greedy gaze like a wolf and a tiger.
Ye Xi didn't know that she was being remembered, she was wearing a thick cloak, sitting under the eaves in front of the door, looking at the sky, blue as blue paint, and white clouds of different shapes, she thought, it seems that today is a good day.
Ye Xi glanced at the little girl next to her and wanted to call her, but she didn't know what her name was?
So she turned her head and smiled and asked, "What's your name?" I can't keep you calling you that! ”
She shook her head and gestured a few times, Ye Xi seemed to understand what she said, "You mean you don't have a name, and others call you dumb!" ”
Ye Xi looked at the little girl in front of him with pity, if she was put in modern times, she would still be a little girl who had just read the first or second year of junior high school, but in this ancient period, she had to live in fear every day, and she didn't even have her own name.
Ye Xi asked inquiringly, "Do you want me to give you a name, it's too ugly to be dumb!" ”
When she heard this, her face was full of joy, and she kept nodding her head.
Ye Xi rolled her eyes, looked around, and looked at the sky, she turned her head and asked with a soft and kind smile, "Otherwise, it's called Blue Cloud, I hope you will always be like a white cloud under the blue sky, the breeze is clear, and you are as innocent and kind as now." ”
She nodded vigorously and kept gesturing, "Thank you!" Thank you ......."
Ye Xi grabbed her hand, "You don't have to be polite, you don't have to say thank you, just be happy!" ”
Batian gathered half of the forces of Sand City, adding up to about 10,000 people.
He sent his third brother to stay in Shacheng, and he took the second and fifth children to Quanzhou City.
In the early morning, the dry weather in winter made this desert city even hotter.
Batian took 10,000 horses, the second and fifth as the left and right pioneers, and set off in full gear.
They only drove for four hours, and they reached thirty miles outside the city of Jeonju.
The overlord ordered that in the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, he would take the opportunity to sneak attack and strive to take the city of Jeonju.
The third child who was guarding Shacheng felt very bad in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen. King Ming has experienced so many battles, how can he be in chaos, not to mention that people are searched all over the city, and he is still going door-to-door, which is extremely disturbing to the people and will cause panic among the people, with his ingenuity, it is impossible to be so irrational.
The third child was really not at ease, he commanded, "Take good care of the princess, if she goes on a business trip, I will take off your head." ”
He sent his fourth brother to guard Shacheng well, and he was relieved to take a look. After the third child finished his advice, he took 3,000 people and left Shacheng.
Ye Xi thought to herself, very good, they all went out tonight, leaving only Jingtian, this is a good opportunity, she can take the opportunity to escape. But how did she escape? I don't know how to work lightly, and there are people guarding outside, how to avoid the group of people outside, and I don't know if anyone is spying on me in the dark.
Another important point is that after escaping, there is a desert on all sides, and if you encounter a sandstorm or tornado, you will not die. Under her balance, she felt that it was better to wait for someone to save her. She waited another ten days, and if she hadn't been rescued after ten days, she would find a way to get out of this ghost place by herself.
As the moon gradually rose, the earth fell into darkness, and the moonlight cast a white glow, reflecting the land that had witnessed the vicissitudes of life.
Batian stood in the camp tent to assign tasks, and she pointed to the large map on the table, "Second brother, you pretend to attack the north gate, fifth brother, you bring some people with strong martial arts skills into the city to burn the other party's grain and grass camp." I will raid the West Gate, the West Gate is weak, when I break in, I will fire a signal flare, you will attack with all your strength, when I go in, I will come to support you! ”
The second child has a belligerent look on his face, as if he has taken a stimulant, and he can't wait to fight right away. As for the fifth child, he still has that attitude of not liking or being angry, lonely and arrogant.
Zhong Licong on this side was sitting in the room, and someone outside replied, "Your Highness, there is urgent military affairs ahead!" ”
Zhong Licong put down the military book in his hand, Wang Kang opened the door, and Zhong Licong came to the meeting room.
The lieutenant replied, "Meet Your Highness!" As His Highness expected, they led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and are now stationed thirty miles outside the city of Quanzhou, preparing to attack the city of Quanzhou tonight. ”
Zhong Licong's unhurried attitude, "Do as planned!" His cool voice was slightly low and magnetic.
The adjutant general clasped his fists and replied respectfully, "Yes, the last general obeys!" ”
The adjutant left the chamber and went to defend the city.
Zhong Licong sat in the council room, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Batian led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the West City Gate, and the second child, Burning Sky, came to the North City Gate.
I saw Burning Sky with 3,000 men and horses, all rushing towards the north city gate, he rode on horseback, and shouted, "Rush! Soldiers, rush to Lao Tzu, rush in, and then there will be all kinds of beauties and treasures! ”
"Rush, rush......" he said in a high-pitched voice.
Ye Xi sat in the room, holding a hand stove, and there was a stove fire next to her, and the fire illuminated her delicate and bright Ruyu side face, which made the little girl sitting next to her dazzled.
She stared at each other and gestured, you look so good! Better looking than any woman I've ever seen.
Ye Xi was very happy to see her praise herself like this, but she didn't have much joy because she had heard too many words like this.
When Jingtian was wearing the white robe this morning, and saw the smiling and beautiful woman next to the stove, he looked stupid again.
The guards guarding the door, without exception, were all amazed in their hearts, they were so beautiful, they were not like women in the mortal world, just like fairies who had fallen into the world by mistake, and they were incomprehensible in beauty.
Jingtian walked in, Ye Xi didn't pay attention to him, Jingtian smiled gently, with a familiar attitude, "The princess wants to have supper, I'll send someone to get it for you!" ”
Ye Xi heard that he had supper in advance, but she really felt hungry, she didn't eat well for dinner today, maybe it was because she didn't sleep well last night, so now she is a little hungry.
When Burning Sky pretended to attack the North Gate, the West Gate on this side, and the Deception easily attacked the West Gate, he immediately ordered, "Someone! Send a flare to the second gang leader! So the soldier sent out a signal flare, and the signal flare exploded from the sky, and only a bang was heard, and the sky was lit up by the light for a moment.
When the second child saw it, his face was full of impatience, and he immediately announced, "Attack me, attack it!" ”
The Decepticons on this side had just broken into the west gate with their troops, and suddenly the city tower, as well as the street in front, were full of soldiers wearing iron helmets and helmets, surrounding them.
I saw the lieutenant general standing at the front, and his voice was vibrating, "Release the arrows and take them down for Ben General!" ”
He yelled, then took the big knife and slashed at the other man.
Batian tried his best to fight, he was angry and hateful in his heart, he knew that he had been fooled, he shouted and encouraged, "Soldiers, rush me, rush out, we will share blessings and difficulties." He shouted and rushed forward.
The north gate here is also miserable, and it is unbearable to see, at this time, Zhong Licong came to the grain and grass camp, and ordered the camp supervisor to prepare, the enemy has arrived.
Secretly a group of people in black night clothes, cats, hiding behind the corners.
Lao Wu made a gesture, her right hand stretched out, pointed forward, and then pointed to the left and right, signaling the soldiers to divide into three ways, find the grain and grass camp, and burn it directly.
When they separated, Zhong Licong, who was secretly looking at all this, hooked his lips and sneered.
Ordered Wang Kang, who was standing behind him, "Let's start!" ”
The guards at the north gate ordered arrows with fire oil to be fired at them, so now it became a sea of fire.
When Batian was covered and escaped from Simon, he rode his horse and galloped wildly into the desert, followed by a group of people who fled with him.
Seeing this, the adjutant general ordered in a cold voice, "Take the bow and arrow to General Ben!" Then he drew his bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow plunged into the back of the man, and the arrow pierced the man's chest.
Batian endured the intense pain, supported his body, did not let himself fall, and ran forward desperately.
The arrow on his chest was still dripping with red blood, and blood was also oozing from his back.
When Shantideva was about to throw the oil into it and light it, the heavy soldiers would surround them, Zhong Licong rode on his horse, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, only to hear a whoosh, the barrel in the hand of the fifth man was directly pierced, and detached from his hand, as the arrow nailed to a column in front of him, due to the strong penetrating force, the tail of the arrow involuntarily trembled a few times.
Zhong Licong's ruthless order, "Leave no one behind!" ”
Lao Wu was covered with a black scarf, staring at the other party unconvincedly, he suddenly jumped up, took the long sword in his hand, and stabbed straight at Zhong Licong.
Zhong Licong looked coldly, his face was cold and arrogant, and his inviolable gaze lightly spit out two words, "Look for death!" ”
His sword had not yet been unsheathed, but suddenly between the lightning and flint, a burst of white light flashed, and Zhong Licong's sword move was like a swift wind, slashing through the opponent's neck, sealing the throat with one move, clean and neat.
When the sword wiped the opponent's neck, but there was no bleeding, until the opponent hit the ground, he saw a bright red blood mark on the neck.
Shantideva's eyes were wide open in disbelief before he died.
Zhong Licong saw that everyone had finished cleaning up, and his cold face was cold, "Clean up this king inside and out, this king hopes that there is no trace of blood and oil, otherwise this king will ......" he said here, pausing slightly.
"Chop him, feed the dog!" He slowly spit out these five words, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat and send chills down their backs.
